hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejessica elgot, the deputy political editor at the guardian, and sebastian payne, whitehall editor at the financial times. tomorrow's front pages, starting with, let's start with the financial times, and it leads with the news that travellers arriving into england, who lie on their passenger locator forms about visiting a red list country, face a fine of £10,000 or up to 10 years injail. the same story makes the front page of the metro — the newspaper calls the new rules for international arrivals, a "travel crackdown". the telegraph says there's criticism of the new measures, among some senior conservative mps and travel bosses. the new travel rules are also covered in the guardian. but the newspaper also reports on the start of donald trump's second impeachment trial.
10:32 pm
and, a different story in the mirror. it reports that a hospital trust is charging staff more than 500 pounds a year, to park. so, let's begin. we will start with the metro. the headline ten daysin with the metro. the headline ten days in a hotel room or ten years in a cell if you live. pretty draconian. it a cell if you live. pretty draconian.— a cell if you live. pretty draconian. . ., i, draconian. it certainly is. ten ears in draconian. it certainly is. ten years in prison, _ draconian. it certainly is. ten years in prison, i _ draconian. it certainly is. ten years in prison, i think- draconian. it certainly is. ten years in prison, i think we . draconian. it certainly is. ten - years in prison, i think we should probably say, you'd have to have some fairly major aggravating factors for a judge to sentence you for that long. factors for a judge to sentence you forthat long. but factors for a judge to sentence you for that long. but it shows you how serious the government is about trying to protect printing borders and it is seen as a big threat to the uk's vaccination programme and the uk's vaccination programme and the possibility of new variants
10:33 pm
entering. we have seen further developments today that these mutations, these variants that could threaten the vaccination programme can occur within britain especially when the infection rate is so high. there are and i can say there are number of people that are worried about how draconian these measures are and also those who were worried about the gaps in the border policy. it is pretty weathering about how the hotel quarantine policy says it is actually too weak to stop new variants coming in into strong to save any tourism and aviation jobs and does the trouble of looking good by not actually being good. and they're going to see whether or not this policy is a bit of a pr stunt. i'm trying to remember the first time i had a conversation with anyone about this policy. should there be quarantines, i think it was
10:34 pm
about 11 months ago. is it too late? people up been calling for tougher border_ people up been calling for tougher border control since the beginning of the _ border control since the beginning of the pandemic and i think it was incredulity— of the pandemic and i think it was incredulity too much of last year that borders remain open we did not start checking people with passenger locator _ start checking people with passenger locator forms are required ring them for months _ locator forms are required ring them for months into the pandemic and it 'ust for months into the pandemic and it just seemed bleeding obvious that the government did not do anything about_ the government did not do anything about this _ the government did not do anything about this to be honest. i think that is— about this to be honest. i think that is the _ about this to be honest. i think that is the reaction of most people to this _ that is the reaction of most people to this i_ that is the reaction of most people to this. i thinkjess is right because _ to this. i thinkjess is right because this policy is an example of what we _ because this policy is an example of what we have seen throughout this crisis _ what we have seen throughout this crisis which — what we have seen throughout this crisis which is trying to look in some — crisis which is trying to look in some very— crisis which is trying to look in some very tough but does not hold up to scrutiny— some very tough but does not hold up to scrutiny and there was a lot of talk in _ to scrutiny and there was a lot of talk in australia and new zealand, countries — talk in australia and new zealand, countries that have been doing a zero covid—19 strategy because they have hotel— zero covid—19 strategy because they have hotel for all of our international travel coming in or out but — international travel coming in or out but the uk is not australia or new zealand. they are much different country _ new zealand. they are much different country our—

10:37 pm
uk, the more elaborate plans are for more households to think about meeting up with. the more likely it is that your plans will be scuppered and it does look like we are still going to be facing a summer of quite significant restrictions, especially restrictions on travel. i wonderfor to think that wonder for to think that the travel corridors of 2020, those are the good old days. in comparison to 2021. over talking about this, the spring and the next newspaper. which says ten years in jail, repeating what the metro set for holiday—makers who talk about going to portugal but also the list of countries, us and could potentially change day by day, depending on where variants are discovered in the telegraph is interesting because it does have some criticism of this, particularly from the article that's inside the paper that says the health secretary connections with reality is finally starting to snap
10:38 pm
i would say this idea put a pretty bil i would say this idea put a pretty big which— i would say this idea put a pretty big which are not a single person will go _ big which are not a single person will go to— big which are not a single person will go to jail for ten years over this policy— will go to jail for ten years over this policy because you would need some _ this policy because you would need some pretty aggregating factors in this and _ some pretty aggregating factors in this and you would also need repeated offences and i don't really see many— repeated offences and i don't really see many people doing that and it's the threat _ see many people doing that and it's the threat of that. you see many people doing that and it's the threat of that.— the threat of that. you got to the end of the _ the threat of that. you got to the end of the sentence, _ the threat of that. you got to the end of the sentence, sebastian. | the threat of that. you got to the i end of the sentence, sebastian. the threat of that and that was so emphatic that the line. you are back. sebastian, you are so emphatic that you destroyed the line and you are now back and we will have to imagine what you have said. let me just come tojessica to see if the line is ok. stopjessica, this 20 of criticism from conservative mps in the independent tour operators. yes. the independent tour operators. yes, ou can the independent tour operators. yes, you can imagine _ the independent tour operators. yes, you can imagine that _ the independent tour operators. is: you can imagine that this is the independent tour operators. 123 you can imagine that this is another blow for the travel industry. he also expressed a few concerns over this testing unravel policy and
10:39 pm
testing on and eight and it is something that looks to continue well beyond even some of the more draconian measures that are coming in now and to any city breaks and i don't know how many of us are thinking about that at the moment. but, for a long time, we do have this mad situation of people who want to come back into the country and maybe have to go into a hotel quarantine and they have to get tested before they go in there to get a test of the comeback on day two in this test to release things where they can leave quarantine after day five and on behalf of another, another series of quite invasive tests over a short period of time. ,, , ., ~ invasive tests over a short period oftime. ,, ., ,, �* of time. sebastian, i think you're back. as of time. sebastian, i think you're back- as the _ of time. sebastian, i think you're back. as the travel industry - of time. sebastian, i think you're back. as the travel industry and l of time. sebastian, i think you're| back. as the travel industry and it is an industry that is hugely important but also what are they going to do about this? i

capital and tells them to stop the steel and then there all the scenes of violence showing members of the mob reading and ransacking the us capital and it does paint the picture of the president in the united states encouraging his supporters to attack the very heart of the us government and the final act of this video was this tweet saying that these are things that happen when a sacred victory is stripped away and he says go home, but go on love and peace remember this day. and basically, theyjust let that speak for itself and say, this is the president of the united states. this is a him inciting insurrection. if this
